Do I need a passport to travel from Philly to Canada by train?
The guy that said “absolutely” dd not correctly read his own reference. Here is a quote from that reference. “Passport Requirement by Land or Sea Effective January 31, 2008 U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers will no longer accept oral declarations of U.S. or Canadian citizenship from those traveling by land or sea. U.S. and Canadian travelers will be required to present: A government-issued photo ID, such as a driver’s license and A birth certificate or other proof of citizenship; Or – for youth 18 and under – a birth certificate alone” You can also see the site below for confirmation. Passports are required to FLY…and I don’t believe trains do that. So no passport needed for this trip…have a great time.
